Lost and Found in Delivery

SCLS Delivery maintains a list of items reported lost or found within the Wisconsin Libraries' Delivery Network. The list is available as a Microsoft Excel 2003 spreadsheet. It is updated as items are added or removed, and at the beginning of each month.

Submitted items will be added to the spreadsheet and a notice with the item information will be posted on the SCLS Delivery Service blog. Posts from March 2007 onward can be viewed in the blog archive.

Items not found or claimed are automatically removed from the list after six months.

Libraries are encouraged to periodically check their shelves to see if "lost" materials have been shelved at their library by mistake. If you find any lost items, please send them directly to the owning library. If a lost item has been returned to you please notify us to have it removed from the list.

Questions about the list or the submission procedure can be directed to Tim Drexler.

This was supposedly returned to Waupun Public Library by a patron on September 4, 2018. It usually does not take this long to get back, so it might be lost.

This is a dust jacket only. It arrived at SCLS Delivery in an envelope labeled "WT-Circ 760." There is a post-it note on the item that says that the patron is "Beth Klassy #453379." It was either sent by or owned by a library that receives delivery from the Waltco company. The book itself might be/have been an ILL item. We received it on 10/10/18. (I contacted WVLS and NWLS but both said that it is not theirs.)
